Mark had to work yesterday in observance of Junior Ranger Day so Coop and I decided we'd head to the Park to see what it was all about. Mark and the crew had their engine and gear set up so that visitors (mostly Junior Rangers) could check it all out. Cooper thought it was pretty cool and helped Dad show off his stuff. We decided Cooper is still a bit too young to fully start achieving Junior Ranger status but we had fun enjoying some of the activities and most of all enjoyed watching all THE KIDS. There isn't a lot smiling going on in these pics....I promise he had fun. He was mostly in awe and soaking it all in. There was smiling involved as well (just not for the camera---typical these days).
Making an animal track bandanna.
Watching the big kids play Frisbee.
Check out my Dad's cool engine.
Hey, are those more kids I see?
Coop had fun and we had fun watching him. We've been trying to recap our days as part of our dinner time conversation. We asked him if he went to Dad's work today. He answered 'Yaaaaaaa'. We then asked him what he saw (thinking he'd say Dadeeee truck) but he answered 'kids fribee'. I guess that shows what the highlight of his day truly was. The kid loves kids. Hopefully he'll be that excited about his little brother.

The instant attraction to other children is fascinating. I see it with Zoe when we go to the park, the grocery store, everywhere. And the other little kids are looking and pointing at her, too. I love that our children are hard wired to reach out to others.
Junior Ranger Day is the best! It's like take your kid to work day but with cool activities.
So glad you had fun!
